In Pics: Munster Schools Win Interpro Title

The Munster Under 18 Schools, sponsored by Trend Micro, won the Interpro title for the first time in 11 years on Saturday with a 19-10 win over Leinster.

Check out the best pics here.

It's the first time since 1973 that Munster have won the four-province Schools Interpro Series after Connacht's absence between 1979 and 2006.

Munster started superbly and played some brilliant rugby to race into a 19-0 half-time lead.

Crescent College winger Billy O'Hora scored the Munster try in the right corner after a period of pressure as captain Bill Johnston added the conversion and four penalties.

It was by no means one-way traffic in that first half, however, with some excellent Munster defence keeping the visitors at bay.

Leinster were reduced to 14 men on 51 minutes but got back in the game when winger Jordan Larmour touched down with scrum-half David Duggan also crossing to make it 19-10.

Crucially, however, both conversions were missed which allowed Munster some vital breathing space and superb defence helped the hosts see out the game and claim the Interprovincial title.

Munster Rugby would like to thank CBC for the use of the school's wonderful facilities and their hospitality.
